Erik Slater: Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle sprain) is questionable for the Nets tomorrow vs. Boston

Dorian Finney-Smith suffers left ankle sprain

Dorian Finney-Smith suffered a left ankle sprain on Monday against Miami Heat. DFS appeared to roll his ankle while stepping on Gabe Vincent's foot in the third quarter. Finney-Smith was able to walk off the court on his own power but did not return to the game.

Injury Impact

Finney-Smith did not practice on Tuesday but is currently listed as questionable for the Nets game. DFS is a key member of the Nets' starting lineup and averages 10.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. If he is unable to play, it would be a big loss for the Nets, who are already without Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons.

Nets vs. Boston Preview

The Nets will face the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night at Barclays Center. The Celtics are one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference and will be a tough matchup for the Nets, especially if Finney-Smith is unable to play. The Celtics are led by Jayson Tatum, who is averaging 30.4 points per game.

Conclusion

The Nets will need to be at their best to beat the Celtics on Wednesday night. They will need to make up for the absence of Finney-Smith with strong performances from their other players. If they can do that, they have a chance to beat a tough Celtics team.
